It uses far less tokens than C#, so watch this space...

Ml-family languages (and frankly, all natively functional languages) are just incredibly terse and information-dense second only to stuff like APL. And yet when written idiomatically and with good object and type naming they are surprisingly readable and writeable.

'Twas a bad idea to train LLMs on the corpus of leaky, verbose C and C++ first instead of on these strict, strongly-typed, highly structural languages.

Care to explain? Pattern matching, type inference, etc.?

Various investigations have found it to be one of the most token efficient statically typed programming languages

It's all about the goddamned machines.. since F# is terse, they figure agent-generated F# code is cheaper.

I like to think of F# as concise.
